Council to review liquor license requests

The city council is scheduled to vote on one liquor license ordinance Monday and hold a public hearing on another.

The public hearing is in response to an application from Ayerco Convenience Center for a package liquor license for its store at 608 E. Jackson St.

Later in the meeting, aldermen will hear first reading of the proposed ordinance.

The council will take a final vote on an ordinance creating a restaurant liquor license for Yummy Chen's. The restaurant will be located at 531 W. Jackson St., the former site of the Yen Ching Chinese Restaurant.

Aldermen will hear first reading of an ordinance that would allow the expansion of the parking lot of Vitale's Restaurant by rezoning a lot on the corner of West Washington and Albert streets from residential to general business.

Another first reading involves a proposed ordinance that would establish new Go West bus stops on North Pearl Street.

The council will consider approval of agreements with the Macomb Park District for maintenance of the current municipal swimming pool or construction of a new pool, and for bow hunting in Spring Lake Park.

Aldermen will also discuss requests from AT&T for an increase in rent that it would pay to the city in exchange for adding additional cellular telephone transmitters to Macomb water towers.

The council could approve a Walker Street water tower lease agreement Monday, and grant itself power to act on a North Randolph Street water tower lease agreement during its July 28 committee of the whole meeting.

Aldermen are also scheduled to witness the swearing in of Macomb's newest police officer, Jacob Roberts, at the start of the council meeting. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on the second floor of Macomb City Hall, 232 E. Jackson St.
